You can find the PRP at popularromanceproject.org; take a look at the sorts of pieces we have there, and send me an email at eselinge@depaul.edu. --EricE. M.

I was busily trying to edit my own contribution this morning but for some reason my wordprocessing programme kept freezing, so I had to take a break. That sounds like a creative excuse, doesn't it. ;-) I'll have to get it fixed.<BR/><BR/>Bill, have you had a look at some of the items on the <A HREF="http://www.romancewiki.com/Romance_Scholarship" REL="nofollow">Romance Bibliography</A> which are psychological in orientation? There are a couple in particular you might want to look at:<BR/><BR/>Kramer, Daniela & Moore, Michael, 2001. ‘Gender Roles, Romantic Fiction and Family Therapy’, <I>Psycoloquy</I> 12.24 (you can read it <A HREF="http://psycprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/archive/00000153/02/psyc.01.12.024.family-therapy.1.kramer" REL="nofollow">here in a format which makes the tables come out properly</A>).<BR/><BR/>Wood, Julia T., 2001. 'The normalization of violence in heterosexual romantic relationships: Women's narratives of love and violence', <I>Journal of Social and Personal Relationships</I>, 18.2: 239-261. (abstract <A HREF="http://spr.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/18/2/239" REL="nofollow">here</A>)<BR/><BR/>Both of these suggest that romance novels encourage/depict violent relationships. I know that in the past some romances did depict heroes who were abusive towards heroines, but in general it isn't something I recognise as being present in modern romances and I thought that might make an interesting starting point for you, given that you're interested in looking at adult relationships as depicted in the genre.Laura Vivancohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906661869372622821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30203557.post-57515602993013869662007-02-22T17:18:00.000+00:002007-02-22T17:18:00.000+00:00Hi Sarah,As I said in my e-mail, I will begin to t...Hi Sarah,<BR/><BR/>As I said in my e-mail, I will begin to try to crystallize my ideas (in the psychology/romance area) and get back to you. I’m still a newbie in the romance novel area but have some expertise in the psychology of adult loving relationships – it could be an interesting challenge for me.<BR/><BR/>‘til then, thanks,<BR/><BR/>BillDr. Bill Emenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707755608580620460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30203557.post-10471093913308826572007-02-21T15:38:00.000+00:002007-02-21T15:38:00.000+00:00Pacatrue, a short CV is perhaps not SOP for CFPs, ...Pacatrue, a short CV is perhaps not SOP for CFPs, but it's not uncommon. I'm seeing it more and more for conference CFPs as well, which seems a little strange to me.<BR/><BR/>I see what you mean about specifying romance-positive criticism, but Eric and I wanted to be as open as possible, right up front, about what we were looking for.Sarah S.G.

I'll stew on a couple ideas with another linguist friend of mine and see if I can come up with anything - unlike last time.<BR/><BR/>I did wonder a little bit about putting the "romance-positive" requirement on a Call. I understand the reasons for it. I'm not sure we need another diatribe against the romance genre, but at the same time, you would hope that quality scholarhip is quality scholarship no matter how it comes down in the end. It doesn't really affect me as I find most useful criticism to be positive and wouldn't bother to write unless I thought I had something constructive to say. Anyway, I'm babbling now. Is a CV customary in lit calls for papers? Never seen it in my linguistics/cog sci world.<BR/><BR/>On a related note, what is the state of things with the Cruisie book?pacatruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125048243775811714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30203557.post-30299873928948915482007-02-20T23:34:00.000+00:002007-02-20T23:34:00.000+00:00Hi, Laura!

That's right--I think Sarah and I talked about pieces in the range of 4000-6000 words, in general, perhaps with a few on the slightly longer side. <BR/><BR/>Sarah, feel free to weigh in if that's off, or needs tweaking!E.

We'd love to have you submit something on captivity narrative (or anything else, for that matter). <BR/><BR/>For the abstracts we've been thinking about 500 words. That's a page in single-space, two in double-space: long enough for us to get a good sense of what you want to do, but not so long that the work is "finished" in any real sense of the word. <BR/><BR/>I hope that sounds possible in the time you have. Let us know--and good luck with the coursework, graduation, and bar exam!E. M.
